More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein

And when one investigates it it is like investigating mercury vapour in order to comprehend the nature of vapours.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A main cause of philosophical disease-an unbalanced diet: one nourishes one's thinking with only one kind of example.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Genius is talent in which character makes itself heard.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Suppose someone were to say: 'Imagine this butterfly exactly as it is, but ugly instead of beautiful'?!
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Transparency painted in a picture produces its effect in a different way than opaqueness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
And to imagine a language means to imagine a form of life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The eternal life is given to those who live in the present.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We find certains things about seeing puzzling, because we do not find the whole business of seeing puzzling enough.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The totality of facts determines both what is the case, and also all that is not the case.

Tell them I've had a wonderful life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
